Golf Blog by The Orlando Golf Blogger

Sorry for the delay between posts!  Last week, I fell into a turkey coma and just woke up..

Sitting on my throne, flipping the pages of an older edition of Golf Magazine, I stumbled upon an article called “The Best Courses Near You.”  This is their first ever rankings of the best courses you can play in every state.  Being the illustrious “Orlando Golf Blogger,” I’ve compiled the best courses to play in Orlando (and surrounding areas ).

Ahem..

drum roll please….

I present to you, ranked from highest to lowest, the best golf courses in Orlando!

1.   Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill
2.   Reunion (Independence)
3.   Victoria Hills – GolfNow.com
4.   Southern Dunes
5.   Grand Cypress (New)- GolfNow.com
6.   OCN (Panther Lake) – GolfNow.com
7.   Walt Disney World (Osprey Ridge)
8.   Reunion (Legacy)
9.   Grand Cypress (North/South) – GolfNow.com
10. Ritz-Carlton Members Club
Just incase you needed clarification, the ones with “GolfNow.com” have discounted tee times available on golfnow.  Victoria Hills has tee times for $30 bucks!  thought that was odd coming from such a highly rated course

For those of you awesome readers who don’t live in Orlando, here’s a link I found to the article so you can find yours too!

I was flipping through the latest issue of Golf magazine, which, for some reason, I’ve been receiving for the past 3 months and which I never signed up for…. err..  of which I’m a satified paying customer of…

Anyway, I was flipping through Golf magazine and I came across their list of the Top 100 Teachers in the US and I was quite shocked to see so many of these instructors are in Orlando and the surrounding area.

So, for your viewing pleasure, brought to by none other than the Orlando Golf Blogger, the list, of Orlando’s Top 7 Active Golf Teachers.

1. Mike Bender – Lake Mary – Timacuan
2. Brad Brewer – Orlando – Shingle Creek
3. Fred Griffin – Orlando – Grand Cypress
4. Bill Madonna – Orlando – Hawk’s Landing
5. Rick McCord – Kissimmee – Orange Lake
6. Patti McGowan – Orlando – Lake Nona
7. Brian Mogg – Windermere – The Golden Bear Club at Keene’s Point

But wait, there’s more! Here’s the list of the Top 3 Emeritus Golf Teachers in Orlando.

1. David Leadbetter – Champions Gate
2. Phil Ritson – Winter Garden
3. Craig Shankland – Daytona

And for those who were wondering, Emeritus means retired but retaining an honorary title corresponding to that held immediately before retirement.

If you happen to give them a call, tell em the Orlando Golf Blogger sent ya!  I’m not really sure what good it’ll do, but hey, never hurts
